Yellow Canal Specials fished slow. wouldn't take them fast. They're headed for the smoker. The Race was alive with blues from the campers to the traps. Looked like a blender. The fish were in the first wave watching me, weird they wouldn't take the lure, had to cast out to fool them. I think that the blues are getting smart...that is a scary thought right there..

How bad were the seals?

Not one seal! There wasn't room for one. Those blues are at or over 3 foot. No seal in it's right mind woulda been there.

Nice, I still need to make my first trip out there this year. Long ride when the seals are thick though.

nice catch Fred.glad to hear you were unmolested by those seals.weren't many times this summer where you could fish with losing any to the seals.there were quite a few bluefish blitz's in august though not as many as last year. hope some of those striped ones follow up.

I'll be out there in a couple weeks. Hopefully there will still be some action. Would like to get my fiance a big blue.

LOL. 25 years ago I took my then fiance for a boat ride. We passed a school of bluefish so I helped her catch one. When we landed it she took one look at the plug in its mouth and said "that looks like it would hurt the fish". I married her, but she hasn't been out in my boat since. Thank God for bluefish.

George, mine doesn't fish with me anymore, either. Not since her Dad grabbed the rod and said she'd lose it. 33 years ago.

Got out late this AM. Didn't miss anything, there must be millions of blues feeding right to the shore. It's unreal.

The Senior Angler was using a plug with no hooks and tormenting them. I was a pig and was getting two at a time. Some monsters, plus if I hadn't tightened up the drag I would have landed that seal. I had him beat. Anyone seeing a Horsehead with a yellow polaris with custom paint stuck to it's head, let me know I want my plug back.
